FO: Central Park Hoodie



Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca (7 skeins)

Needles: US 7 and 9

Start Date: March 29, 2007

End Date: May 7, 2007

Comments: sizes run small. I measure at a 40 inch bust and knitted the size 44. Some adjustments that I altered would be: increasing the ribbing all along each edge by about an inch. Plus, my stitch gauge was dead-on but the row gauge was very long, so I eliminated 2 rows from the pattern. It worked out great and the cables look perfect - not elongated like my swatch. I will definitely knit this pattern again and recommend it to anyone first starting a sweater or new to cables.

You can see more photos and comments on my blog. Thank you all for your support on this KAL...I can't wait to do another.

It's beautiful! I love the way the longer ribbing makes almost a shawl collar. Very pretty.

I have this sweater on my list to do. I think yours is the prettiest I have seen. I measure 40 inch bust also, so thanks for the heads up with sizing issues.
